Best churches to visit in Italy

Italy has more churches in this catalogue than any other country, and the most visited church interiors in the world: the Sistine Chapel and St Peter’s in Rome, the cathedral and baptistery complex of Florence, St Mark’s in Venice and the roof of Milan Cathedral. Beyond the big four, the list runs from the gold mosaics of Monreale and Ravenna to Giotto’s chapel in Padua and the cave churches of Matera.
